The CIDNA board wrote Hennepin County Board Chair Marion Greene asking her to withdraw her proposal to stop televising members of the public who comment at Hennepin County Board meetings. CIDNA said the measure would both stifle community voices and deprive the public of their right to hear uncensored dialogue between public officials and the people they are elected to serve. Read the letter on the CIDNA website.
At its August 2 meeting, Greene’s proposal passed 5-2, with Commissioners Chris LaTondresse and Angela Conley voting against it. Joining CIDNA in opposition to the measure was the Minnesota Coalition on Government Information.
